Some slight adjustments and suggestions: 1. "chisel blade" be renamed to "stone chisel blade" so that when sorting it will be next to stone chisel fragments. 2. "long sword blade fragment" be renamed "longsword blade fragment", to be in sync with "longsword fragments" 3. "ore, tin fragment" not be an "unidentified metal fragment", but just an unidentified fragment like the rest of the ore fragments. 4. rename all lumps and ores as follows: "lump fragment, iron/copper/etc x/3" rather than "lump fragment x/3, iron/copper/etc" - So that when sorting them all the lumps/ores of the same metal are together rather than the singles (1/3) and the multiples (2/3) being listed separately as currently. - In fact, all archaeology items should be renamed, "xxx, alloy, x/3" or "xxx, metal, x/3" for the sake of consistency. 5. Make it possible to find fragments on an old deed that has been sanded over, i.e. so that it is possible to find fragments on sand tiles. 6. Improve the graphics of the statues, which atm are somewhat disappointing. Please feel free to add anything I have missed.

theres no secret to how the 'monopolies' work, theyre just large groups of friends that work together to look for them and share their finds with each other. these are communities within the game and acting like they're only out to control the market and don't simply enjoy killing uniques is a bit weird. put in the effort to look for uniques, join a group of people that do, or make your own group with friends. don't be expecting free top tier gear while putting in no effort.

As usual see Niarja for the rift time. For those coming by boat the best landing spot is probably the east end of the Fraggle Rock Canal, and using the highway from there.

Sme is actually Samuel L. Jackson. Confirmed.

Not to mention every public slaying is at 4-6am lol. If you want one find one and then you can decide what happens to it.

I see everybody here has cool names and stories.. Im really bad at coming up with names haha.. The name of the city I live in translated to English is Sweetlake (or literally Sweeterlake, but everybody here says Sweetlake or Sweetlakecity). So first I wanted to go for Sweetlakesusie, but I wanted it to be shorter so I chose for Sweetsusie. If I had known I would be playing wurm so much and for so many years I would have taken a bit longer to think of a better name lol.. After playing a bit I realized but I already had some skills and didn't want to start over.. So I guess im stuck with this name. My priests name is Cookiedough.. Again nothing fancy, but still better than Sweetsusie I tried a couple of those name generator websites but I didn't find anything that I liked. And well.. I just like cookie dough XD

It happens to the best of us. If I had a nickle for every dumb thing I have screwed up in .properties files since starting my server.. I don't want to admit how rich I'd be. Glad it's working for you Batta.

I created my nick myself, just randomly outta my mind. It was back in 2001 when Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction expansion was released in my country. I made my nickname for my first and best Paladin character, and since then I'm using it everywhere, everytime. Now I'm mostly known by this nickname, even for my real friends. It has become in fact my main alias, so now many people I know for years have really hard times guesing my real name. If you will ever see my nickname in any game or in the internet- it's probably me.

It's a reward the hunter get for putting in the time and effort. Put in the time and skill needed and you shall be rewarded, it's the same with everything in this game.

If they are close to release... no better time than the current.. everybody's stuck at home and dumping their money on games to pass the time and random things... just throwing money through windows...

During one of my most recent discussions here the topic of names came up. So it got me thinking... How did you come up with your name for your main character? Was it your child nickname? The name of a pet? or was just a random collection of letters? Naturally this question is for a character you created yourself or was created for you. Tell us your story! In addition to your name, share a memorable story involving your early days on Wurm. Lets see if your stories are as colorful as mine was (to me at least!)

We all know the deal; grind 100 faith and all magic is at your fingertips. By 50 channeling, most spells are pretty effective and enchant shatters are minimal. But what if higher levels of channeling opened up new uses for existing spells, some examples being: Casting morning fog as a helmet enchant at 70 channeling to make the wearer immune to beestings Casting strongwall at 60 channeling on statues to reduce their decay rate offdeed. Casting pillar of ice at on larders at 70 channeling to spawn snowballs in their iceboxes. Casting cleanse on a player at 80 channeling to remove disease etc Little uses for existing spells that unlock with higher levels of channeling (reflecting much more fine tuned control on the priest's part). Nothing aimed at PvP, just little extra uses for spells one may not cast too much.

So I got to thinking, there are a lot of minor, everyday annoyance in wurm. My current pet peeve is sudden withering (from very old sprouting to withered overnight), it's a bugger. I dread this happening to my trellises since I can't simply remake them! The thing is, it's one of many tiny annoyances in wurm every day. Removing them would remove a lot of the challenge from the game, but giving an alternative fix might be something nice. And this is where unicorn horn wands come in. Take one unicorn horn (weight of 1.5), have a jewellery smith attach a gem (product QL capped by gem QL, weight = 2), then have a priest cast a spell on the wand (or use the appropriate spell rune on a wand) to give it an effect. ANYONE can use a wand and wands vanish once their QL drops below 0. Unicorn Horn Wand + Wild Growth = Wand of Rejuvenation (use on a withered tree/bush/trellis to turn it back into a very old tree at the cost of 20 favour and 5 wand QL) A couple more examples: Unicorn Horn Wand + Heal = Wand of Curing (use on any diseased player or animal to remove disease at the cost of 30 favour and 10 wand QL) Unicorn Horn Wand + Mend = Pottery Sealing Wand (use on any damaged pottery item to remove 20 damage at the cost of 20 favour and 5 wand QL) Unicorn Horn Wand + Strongwall = Wand of Stable Footing (use on any unreinforced mine floor tile to reinforce it (default reinforced floor texture) at the cost of 30 favour and 20 wand QL) Optional Extra: Give priests a damage reduction on wands [Damage =Base Damage*(1-(channeling/200))] Edit: Changed borked formula

The problem with unique creatures that has been going around since they have been around is that people are privately slaying them or keeping them as "pets", this is unfair and a monopoly because they get to control the market for the drops. this is unfair to must people like me because it makes it a zero to none chance of me being able to get the hide I want for armor, I have to spend all the coins I earn on upkeep and premium, and I am not going to send real life money to get the hide/armor either. this shouldn't be allowed. And, since they are so rare you may not be able to get enough of the drop without going though the monopoly, that is a problem as well I suggest to make the spawn rate a bit higher so people are able to enough of the drop they need.

If we are changing the names of things it is important to ensure that: either: all existing fragments are updated with the new system, OR the new fragments still combine together with the legacy fragments regardless of any changes.

Finally my Libila colossus is in place:

Sweet thread. Mine is just an on-the-fly invention. I'm good at coming up with original names. Ayuna reminds me of the type of names that are frequent in my culture of origin (Russia). Short, pleasant, and simple.

Yes

Spend some time locating arti and you'll realize that when you locate a player that is carrying an arti it doesn't tell you where said player is, only says "[artifact] is being carried by x player." Also, if you've ever spent a bit of time locating artis you'd realize that it isn't just 'hard' but incredibly time consuming and tedious. It can sometimes take upwards of 1-2 weeks to narrow down the location of a single arti to a small enough area to dig it up, then in another 3 weeks you have to recharge it or it goes back into the ground. If it happens to be one of the artis that's only use is the 'use' function (ear, eye, mouth, etc), you can only use it a handful of times before it needs to be recharged again immediately. In other words, with the time it takes to dig up and keep most artis recharged these days, it just isn't worth it. With this in mind, narrowing the search down a bit from 12 artis to 3 (each god has 3 artis) isn't so bad, especially when you consider RNG and your chances of hitting the same arti several times in a row. Whilst it may not be the perfect solution, it's definitely a step in the right direction.

Once again much thanks for the custom AoSP cast on my priests rare leather set and the quick turn around! I’ll have more work for you later 😇

Eyesgood - a morphed version of "I am good" as in, I always play good-aligned characters. I always choose to be the paladin, the knight, the healer, the dwarf, the Jedi, etc. As Alkhadias said above, if you see Eyesgood in a game, it's probably me. Although once, I had to re-roll with a different name and so I came up with Eyzengude (as in rhymes with dude). It worked.

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away there was a game called Everquest. My first character ever made was a dark elf wizard named Camigwen, named for a character in the Dragon Price series of books by Melanie Rawn. From there also spawned her twin sister the enchanter Camilyn. Later I was asked to join the leadership team for the DAoC branch of my guild. When I went to create my twins i found that the names had been taken. (I later found that a rival guild had gone in and used up the names of several players so they couldnt be used by their EQ players crossing over) So Dragonelle and Dragoness were born. Since then they have followed me throughout my MMO career (I have played nearly all major MMO’s) with 2 exceptions. My FPS handle is/was Dragonrage or just Rage. And Star Wars Galaxies where I was more known for the weapon crafter Wednesday Addams then the twins. If you had seen a Dragonelle or Dragoness in an MMO in the last 20 years chances are it was me 😁

no i should be spoonfed the content because i don't want to band up now there's an even playing field for finding them with pendys not showing uniques anymore

@ Cuddles There is a lot more to it than adding a new model you exported or downloaded then changing a name in a settings file. Models have there own info with in them that need to be correct or it will never work. You need to start a thread and ask the art team if they can explain it to you how it is actually done a step guide. Not being a Dic but not my job to explain how you do it. A hint try using something like notepad++ on the model then you will start to see why you have a white texture. The model needs to know where the texture is simple: example: When you export a model there is code in the model telling it where to find the texture on your PC. Then when you slide model in a folder inside wurms folders and the texture you want. The model is still going to look for it else where until it is changed inside the model its self.

While foraging, I encounter sometimes that branches I found cannot be discarded. It's ordinary birchwood branches, not enchanted or anything, "A one step long wooden branch that could be used to create a shaft. It is made from birchwood" standard description on examine. I have this more often with higher ql to my impression, the last two were 74.28 and 75.58, but other branches foraged in the same ql range could be discarded. Nothing game breaking, of course, but curious. Edit: I stored the 2 latest finds in a large chest on deed in case someone likes or needs to inspect.

One way to open up unique slaying might be to have a soft cap on how many you can kill in a certain period. For example if you killed a unique recently, you get an increasing CR or damage debuff when fighting other uniques for the next few weeks (or however long). Might encourage the slaying groups to let others in.

sorry, -1 It is up to everyone to hone the combat and other related activities and strive to get into one of the unique hunter groups, or even search on her/his own, and call for support from seasoned hunters on success. I even learnt that they are acting very generously in such cases (not myself but a guy I met who had spot a drake). Granted, I was too lazy so far to roam the servers for uniques, too much to do else. But I am sure it would not be impossible (other than all loathe me now for my rallying for rifts 😛) to get into a hunting group when patient enough. If you spend all coins you earn for premiun and are not willing to spend a single RL penny on Wurm I fail to see why you "deserve" a unique armour. I am paying my upkeep out of my earnings, pay my sub for me and my priests in RL money, and am saving for a scale ingame. It is feasible and in no way unfair. If it would be that easy to get unique resources they would not be unique anymore.

I wanted a Nahjo priest toon as a sidekick, so I was looking for a suitable name. I needed something short, easy to type, and to remember. (Lots of really cool high level players I knew had short snappy names at that time.). I struggled to think of female sidekick characters down through history - until I remembered the famous painting The Mona Lisa - a picture of an enigmatic, quietly smiling lady who was said to be Leonardo da Vinci's muse. I kind of liked the idea of a quiet companion who patiently takes everything I throw at her and just smiles and gets on with it. Hence Muse.

My preferred gamename started in the 80s. If I had to provide a name for a game, I went with Loki, because it suited my play style - in competitive play I would always like to hide my strategy and misdirect, and set up for contingencies well ahead when they might be needed, or sometimes do something that would make no sense to anybody but me (or sometimes not even to me) just for fun and to create confusion. There is also the aspect that in play I never forget that it is play, so I have no lasting stake in it and can merrily wear the cost to myself of doing odd things just for the fun of it even it hurts my interests in the game. As games started to go online, I found Loki used a fair bit (especially in recent years since Marvel co-opted the name in the mass consciousness) so changed the spelling to LowKey - still pronounced the same but taking in another aspect of my play, where I would just be about my business and not be too confrontational, i.e. low key. I was never a fan of just adding numbers to the end, so as LowKey became less available I would use variants by adding spaces or switching to leet (iirc in Halo I used L0K1). I would also employee Tricksy (which did cause some people to assume I am female) or Trixter, or LowKey the Trickster and other such variants on the theme (I had online dealing with another trickster going by Til Eulenspiel so although I had been tempted to start using other tricksters, that made me stick with the Loki variants). I am very late to Wurm, so wound up with Thetrickster which I am kind-of okay with, but it doesn't abbreviate very well - "LK" is a perfectly fine abbreviation for Loki in all it's variants and I would like to get the Loki bit back into my handle.

Finally! I got my answer! I had been wondering forever what made you choose that name!

If Ether can bump things I can too! This is similar to some of the things in his suggestions. Some gem also could have an effect similar to Davih's seals suggestion to limit the ql or enchant loss on an item for a given time. Or one could be used as a payment for any of the suggestions for teleports around the map, alliance or otherwise, with or without mount/vehicle. Seems like it could dovetail well with a number of QoL suggestions where there needs to be some cost and limitation to offset the power of the feature but still improve QoL and bring more use for favor to followers.

Way back in my DAoC days, there was a character class called Inconnu, they were primarily best as archers, which is what I was trying to create. Well if you know anything about DAoC or that particular class, they are incredibly small, so I pulled the size slider all the way down to make it even smaller, then I wanted a name to par, so I tried various iterations of "shrimp" until I caught one that wasn't taken, Shrimpiie. (I also had a big orc named Cheezball 😛) No, the name does not come from the sea creature "Shrimp", but rather it was such a long drawn out process to explain where the name came from to folks, and most folks immediately assumed it was a sea creature related name, so I decided many years ago to just embrace it, and thus you have it!

Probably wouldn't go down so well with the motion-sickness crowd. Optional of course.

This is kinda old project at M10 on Xanadu, connecting my deed to highway. I actually finished it last December, but never bothered too much with screen shots and always planned to get better pic before posting, but what ever...First picture is from above the crossroad. Second is seen from lake towards same spot and 3rd is the only pic I found showing things more or less before I started (It looks pretty much same, but plenty of mountain, especially dirt layer is already lower than original there). So this was a project I started after opening West Hammer Lake Canals (I'm on purpose saying opening, not finishing, as they are not a finished product. I simply concentrated mostly on other things after opening (and took 2 long brakes from game), as they were passable by any boat as is. Polishing will/is happening over time). Now for this road, I'm well aware I could simply have made a tunnel from Hermit's Rest and connected that to the highway going North/South at M11. But I had done so much tunneling, it was time to do some surface mining then. Besides Hermit's Rest needs a Grand Canyon. Also Hermit's Rest is still mostly unbuilt as a deed, because I wanted to have the road done before committing to any other terraforming. So huge changes to be expected in immediate area in next half a year - 2 years.

Sorry again a have typoese virus. To much corona

So this suggestion is to allow non premium players who have never bought premium able to reach 21 stats to ride horses, command ships and bash things?

At first I was like nah but then I realised this is possibly one of the best ideas I've seen in a long time. +1 Very nicely thought out and balanced, Ether

And that's where the plan fails right away

After much consideration and several discussions with the team we have come to a decision regarding a few secret features of the game that we have kept confidential for the last few months but have decided to make known to the public before the next major update from the developers is released. Planting seeds on tiles with a naturally decaying peat and a woodscrap of pinewood or cedarwood on the tile will increase the yield at harvest by 3x. Ropes and small square sails can be used to make a working hammock between fruit trees of a specific age across each side of a tile of grass, dirt, packed dirt, or sand. If you exercise horses for a certain amount of time in a fully enclosed and locked circular pen of between 5x5 and 9x9 it will gain new traits. Lanterns can put out up to four times as much light with a specific dye and fuel combination. For many years we have watched as many secrets in wurm online have never been discovered or used, and some we feel must simply be shared for the benefit of our loyal community. Only a select set of these mechanics are known to us outside of wurm online's creator, but we look forward to uncovering more as we experiment with the developers. Only wurm online has a lot of these mechanics which is why the release of wurm unlimited has not heralded the discovery of these hidden features. Lastly, I would like to reveal that there is a one of a kind gold twenty coin still hidden in the game world after all these years on one of the existing servers not including golden valley. So thank you from all of us on the team and good luck and as always have fun! /Enki (Master of Head Games) p.s. I would like to express my appreciation to everyone who participated in making this as fun as it was. I enjoyed watching everyone help make the more doubting members of our community second guess and wonder if maybe we really did hide some secret features in plain sight.
